A) Humans will never travel to planets around even the nearest stars
Maybe one day, in hundreds of years, technology would be advanced enough for us to get to such planets!
In the story "The Red Bow" by George Saunders, we learn of a town that gets together in order to kill a massive number of dogs due to the death of a girl who was bitten by a rabid dog.
The man who organizes such killing is Uncle Matt. Despite the fact that the measures he suggests are extreme, many of the people of the town support Uncle Matt's decision. One of the main reasons why this happens is because Uncle Matt is able to appeal to the people's emotions. He does this through the use of a red bow as a symbol for the life that was lost. He also achieves this by highlighting the importance of community and unity in the life of the town.
There are many examples of real-life situations in which grief or strong emotions cause people to take extreme measures. An example is the terrorist group IRA that developed in Ireland. This group took extreme measures in order to achieve their goals, including assassinations and bombs. Their actions were caused by the anger and grief they felt towards the English domination of Ireland.

<u>From the excerpt we can see the woman is exaggerating her movements and actions, which is most clearly seen in the last line "She spoke with great distinctness, moving her lips meticulously, as if in parlance with the deaf."</u>
<u>She is exaggerating her movement of the lips and accenting of the words in order to try to prove what she says and underline its importance, even to hide her real thoughts. </u>
<u>We also see she does this for her own enjoyment and exposure with the line "extended her hand at the length of her arm and held it so for all the world to see, until the Negro took it, shook it, and gave it back to her."</u>
<u>With this she is trying to draw attention to her pleasure, to the man taking her hand, to show how she is graceful and polite, and to better her social status. </u>
Answer:
When Orwell relates his experience with the elephant in “Shooting an Elephant” it gives some insight into his own psyche as well as the structure of imperialism. In this moment, he criticizes imperialism, showing that the leaders are controlled by the masses just as much as, if not more so than, the other way around.
He describes himself as being despised by the Burmese people. He is a colonial policeman, and in this role, he is associated with imperial British rule, propped up by the threat of force. (Orwell himself served in the Indian imperial police for a time, so the narrator's voice is likely his own.) When the elephant tears through the bazaar, killing a coolie, the Burmese crowd demands that he shoot and kill it. He does not want to do this, because by the time he arrives on the scene, the elephant has calmed, and no longer poses a threat to anybody. Orwell reflects that, in order to appease the angry crowd, he has to fill the role that they expect of him, which is that of a hated "tyrant." This is the paradoxical nature of empire- he must compromise his morality, become what the Burmese people already think he is, or risk their laughter and scorn. For someone that has already determined that he hates British imperialism, the incident is profoundly unsettling, but in a "roundabout way enlightening." It underscores the duality of empire, a world in which a man like Orwell can, as he says in the account, hold remarkably contradictory feelings:
The incident illustrates that, whatever objections they may have to British rule, imperial officials have to be hated to be respected.
